Question

L'Hospitals... Any tutorials/advice for it?

Answer 1

www.math.hmc.edu/calculus/tutorials/lhopital go with this

Answer 2

will check it out thanks.

Answer 3

http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcI/LHospitalsRule.aspx is another good set of notes.

Answer 4

open to more too.

Answer 5

This is one THE NICEST documents I've ever read about relative rates of growth , which is very good motivation for L'H rule: http://www.math.psu.edu/files/141rates1.pdf

Answer 6

your article only talks about rate of growth ...how and where it has described origin or application of L'hospital's rule..kindly let me know please

Answer 7

@ghazi L'H's rule is fundamentally about relative rates of growth.

Take x^24 / x^21 for example. Clearly if we let x = 0 we have 0/0, but we should have an intuition that x^24 "goes to zero faster" than x^21 and so the limit is indeed 0 for this reason. (and 21 applications of L'H's rule will demonstrate this.)

For more complex limits, we can again appeal to relative rates of growth as an intuitive check for whether or not our computations make sense.

Answer 8

okay..got your point

Take a look at these videos if you havent yet.
I have heard of a great site but a subscription is necessary. http://www.mathtutordvd.com/products/item22.cfm

Answer 10

Thanks.. I am just boning up on the rules and application of it... It seems like some series use it, and I am prepping for a final tomorrow....

Answer 11

Good Luck

Answer 12

Thanks :) Do you have any idea which series would use it?

Answer 13

Noooo
